Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl


Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl is one of the leading landscape architecture practices of Germany specialising in the integration of art, urban hydrology, environmental engineering, and landscape architecture within an urban context. The practise was founded in 1980 by the German landscape architect Herbert Dreiseitl with a goal to promote sustainable projects with a high aesthetic and social value. Today it has offices in Germany, Singapore and Beijing. In May 2013, Atelier Dreiseitl (now Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl) GmbH formed a new partnership with the international engineering consultancy, the Ramboll Group A/S, based in Copenhagen.

The multidisciplinary practice seeks to raise awareness of the social and ecological value of water in urban design. The scope of the practice’s work includes strategic catchment-based urban masterplans, urban parks, rivers, civic space and water playgrounds. Over the past 30 years, Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl has accumulated experience in technical water systems, including water storage, treatment and reuse, retention and infiltration techniques, grey and black water systems, climatisation and green roofs.

Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl has been described as “the hidden champion of the German design scene”.

Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl are responsible for the waterscape on Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. Water was central to Renzo Piano and Christoph Kohlbecker’s original design, but it was Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl that conceived and developed the scheme for rainwater harvest, circulation and display and created the many opportunities for engagement with water. The scheme is one of the largest urban rainwater harvesting projects in the world and in 2011, it became one of the first city quarters to be retrospectively awarded the DGNB Certificate of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) in silver.

Another major project in Germany is Arkadien Winnenden, the ecological city design which was named winner of the Green Dot Award ‘Build’ category in 2011. The firm turned the abandoned factory site into an eco-friendly development which combines dense layout with green space, includes permeable paving and waterways which provide natural flood control and a lake which filters rainwater.
